Nestled at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this beautifully updated home offers a rare combination of privacy, nature, and modern updates. Backing to conservation land, the property overlooks a picturesque backyard with mature trees and a peaceful creek, providing scenic views from nearly every window.

Thoughtfully updated throughout, the home features a remodeled kitchen and main level (2017), updated primary bath (2019), new laminate flooring in all bedrooms, water heater (2020), A/C (2022), furnace (2023), and roof (2024). The exterior was freshly painted and the deck repaired in 2025, and brand-new carpet has been installed in the lower level (2026). A truly special setting with no rear neighbors, stunning natural views, and extensive recent improvements makes this home move-in ready and one you won't want to miss.
